Adeboye urges prayers against senseless killings

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christians Church of God, (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye has called on Christians to seek the face of God against individuals troubling the peace of the nation.

He spoke last Sunday at the special prayers of freedom for the nation and families in commemoration of the 58th Independence Day service at RCCG Headquarters, Throne of Grace Parish, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

Adeboye said the unabated spate of killings and kidnapping in parts of the country was worrisome, indicating Nigeria needs divine intervention.

The respected cleric pointed out it was obvious the socio-economic and insecurity challenges of the nation can never be solved by any human imagination or strategy.

He urged Christians should seek the face of the Almighty God for solutions.

“We need God to stop every siege on our towns and villages, state or the nation at large. Every nation is made up of families.

“We are part of this nation and our families are part of this nation Lord, we plead that God will send help to us and stop the siege,” he said

Adeboye asserted that Nigerians, especially Christians must go beyond complaining but seek the face of God in humility.

“God is not saying if my people will talk or complain about their problems but if my people shall humble themselves, pray and seek my face. I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land,” he said.

He stated Nigeria cannot possibly be the worst place on earth as there are worse, stating “we only need divine help to stop the siege upon our country and peace and prosperity reign across the length and breadth of Nigeria.”

He added: “I visited two different countries and I saw their problems. There are countries where people live in the graveyards.

“The graveyards have concrete and they practically sleep on it because they have no shelter to live and their government named the placed: the city of the death.”
